Deadline for volunteering to end street homelessness in #Croydon is 19 August

Crisis at Christmas and Evolve Housing are seeking 120 local volunteers to help tackle chronic rough sleeping in Croydon by 2020. The project forms part of the European End Street Homelessness Campaign, as recently featured in the Guardian. There are two parts:

Local volunteers will be supported to go out onto the streets with the aim of getting to know every homeless person by name during a ‘connections week’ starting Tuesday 30 August 2016.

Then focus on working together to find solutions for each and every person, with the very challenging aim to house homeless people in permanent, safe, appropriate and affordable housing with the support necessary to sustain it.
